One of my 850ies had a problem that sounded similar. I never git around to find the problem and solce it. After 5 or 6 years I retired it (badly worn out oberall condition) and even though the tranny acted up for years, it never broke down. My meticilously serviced R on the other hand blew up the tr...

If you haven't already, it might be a helpful to measure the voltage on the primary (low voltage) side of the coil to see if it's good. I would expect it to be > 12.6V with the car running.

Wrong forum, I know, but I miss you guys, yes specifically P80. I spent six weeks providing 24/7 care for a family member, then got a month at home where I wrestled some necessary repairs on the rusty 2000 V70 Geronimo which my girlfriend is relying on. Now I'm back providing care again, likely for ...
